The UAE government has approved a groundbreaking curriculum to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a compulsory subject across all stages of public education. The implementation of this initiative will commence from kindergarten through 12th grade by next year.
The UAE Ministry of Education’s plans highlight a long-term vision of the government to prepare future generations for a rapidly evolving world in AI by providing them with the advanced skills for a technology-driven future.
The Vice President of the UAE, HH Sheikh Mohammed, has announced it on his X post. The program will provide a deep technical understanding of AI, covering its data, algorithms, and applications. It will go beyond technical skills by addressing the ethical implications of AI, fostering awareness of its risks, societal impact, and connection to daily life.
This dual focus will ensure students are not only proficient in AI but also responsible stewards of its development. By implementing AI education, the nation aims to cultivate a generation capable of driving innovation and keeping the country growing strong for years.
This plan makes the UAE a leader in modern education and supports its goal to be a major center for technology and new ideas. Other countries might follow the UAE’s example and start teaching AI too.
This shows the UAE wants a future where technology and positive values work together. Teachers and parents are excited to see how these lessons will help students succeed in a world full of AI. This advanced initiative by the UAE shows how much the country is focused on its advancement. On 18th April, HH Sheikh Mohammed also announced the launch of the first integrated regulatory artificial intelligence ecosystem within the UAE government.
